Looks like there would be a fair bit of work involved to make them follow the lines of the body work, be interested to see how it works out!

They look similar to the ones on the green ute in the Samba link. with a slight dip up where the wheel is.

They don't make it any harder to change a flat tyre than a hubcap does. They just unclip with a big spring at the back. Takes about 30
seconds.
The way they are designed, they dont fall off, and they are easy to remove. Only thing to watch out for are theives. Like I said easy as hubcaps.

spats on a box
Sorry Hell Bus but I recon they would look shit house for a start the arch lines are all wrong eg the arches are too flaired, spats would only work
well on flat profile arches eg pre 60s kombies also kombies dont have much in the way of body lines so adding spats just make it look more flat
looking and slabbie thats why you dont see them as after market accesories
sorry but just my opinion:puke:puke
recycle, restore, enjoy
